This week I had the opportunity to arrive in Singapore from rioter land - that is Hong Kong.
Sadly, I had imbibed and been implicitly convinced by the Western media that Singapore was superior in all ways to Hong Kong. To my great consternation, there turned out to be indeed some things that Hong Kong is superior in.
Ways Singapore Is Superior
- Singapore has A LOT more space.
- Singaporean Chinese can speak Mandarin.
- Singaporeans can speak English.
- Singaporeans are far more relaxed and walk at ASEAN pace, even in business districts.
- Singapore had a shocking amount of Korean tourists.
- Singapore is environmentally cleaner.
- Singaporean buildings, especially the HDB's, are otherworldly clean. It's as if you're visiting a more advanced society.
- Singapore birds are much more beautiful. I have included two pictures of a beautiful Singaporean bird.
Ways Hong Kong Is Superior
- Hong Kong is better for tourism. Singapore doesn't have many authentic, "real" tourist sites. Its sites are mostly for families. Is this related to the PAP's campaign to increase the birth rate?
- Hong Kong's media is far more advanced. Do Singaporean TV dramas exist? I wasn't able to find one.
- Hong Kong's subway system is better, cleaner, and more modern. Is this because Hong Kong's MTR gets money from real estate development?
- Hong Kong is more technologically advanced. Hong Kong's subways have TV and electronic wall ads on the sides of the tunnels. Hong Kong buses electronically tell you what stop you're on and where you are on the bus route. Singapore doesn't have this. (I therefore find it strange that Singapore has created tech unicorns - e.g. Grab - but Hong Kong hasn’t. I guess that Hong Kong separatists are too lazy - but so are Singaporeans.)
Rioter Land Is Much More Chinese
I was very sad to come to this conclusion.
But it's undeniable. In Singapore, Chinese characters seem to just be a decoration. They are in some subway names and restaurant names, but they are not used meaningfully in public.
In the land of riots, on the other hand, Chinese characters are used everywhere meaningfully. Hong Kong advertisements are mainly Chinese, with English added for flavor, and they are full of Chinese culture. Singaporean advertisements don't have Chinese.
The Hong Kong people also look much more Chinese. After taking a close look at many of the Singaporean Chinese, I've come to the conclusion that the PAP's proud 76% Chinese majority is similar to Argentina's proud 97% white majority. I think Singapore likes to import Malaysian and Indonesian Chinese - who are probably actually 1/3 Malay. Of course Hong Kong and China proper have many brown Chinese; I confirmed this by taking a walk outside in Hong Kong. I think the difference is that Hong Kong's Chinese are ~25% brown, whereas Singapore's Chinese are ~50% brown.
Singaporeans Are Uglier 
This was the saddest discovery of all that I made in Singapore. The Western media definitely didn't tell me this!
I was shocked to discover the phenomenon of "Singapore Plus Size." I saw Singaporean after Singaporean who was wide as a small table. This obesity phenomenon was astonishingly most prevalent in the Singaporean Chinese community. It was as if some malevolent force had super-sized their bodies. I almost thought I was in the empire, except with fat white burgers replaced by fat Chinese Singaporeans. I was sad and troubled. Even in America, the Chinese keep themselves thin!
I find this very strange, since Singapore's weather is similar to Hong Kong's weather. Hong Kong is also very hot and humid, and it is uncomfortable to walk outside for long times. Yet somehow Hong Kongers are as skinny as bones.
What was most heartbreaking of all was the state of Singapore's female population. Hong Kong girls, while often race traitors, are at least pretty and wear huge amounts of make-up well. I often admire the beautiful view that they present.
Shockingly, I saw very few beautiful women in Singapore. It was as if they were missing. The number of pretty girls, who use well-done make-up and take care of their appearance, was maybe one-fifth that of Hong Kong.
Singapore also has very few couples openly dating with public displays of affection. You see young couples all over Hong Kong doing PDA. What is strange is that Hong Kong's birth rate is much lower than Singapore's. Also most Hong Kongers marry after 30.
All in all, it was very sad to see a people do this to themselves. What causes Singapore's Chinese community to destroy themselves like this?
My pet theory is that Singaporean Chinese feel racially superior at 50% - probably the real number, not the PAP's fake 76% - of the population. Therefore they don't put as much effort into taking care of their appearance. In Hong Kong, on the other hand, 92% of the population is Chinese - with the majority of the rest Indonesian/Filipino maids. Hong Kong Chinese therefore fiercely compete with each other to look attractive. For instance, Hong Kong women run a real risk of staying single if they don't present themselves well. Singaporean Chinese women, on the other hand, are in short supply and therefore don't put much effort in their appearances. (The same applies to the men.)
Then again, I might be completely wrong on this. I just walked on the street and saw a ton of ugly Hong Kongers and no pretty girls - they were all old people. So who knows!

(P.S. I truly apologize, from the bottom of my heart, if I offended our SDF Singaporean contingent! I loved Singapore - it's just that it's so sad that the pretty ladies seemed to have all disappeared.)
